Describing the ETC is really hard, and I finally found a metaphor. Telling people about the ETC is like describing Cirque du Soleil if they’ve never seen it. Sooner or later you’re going to make the mistake. You’re going to say, well it’s like a circus. And then you’re dragged into this conversation about oh, how many tigers, how many lions, how many trapeze acts? And that misses the whole point. So when we say we’re a master’s degree, we’re really not like any master’s degree you’ve ever seen. Here’s the curriculum [Shows slide of ETC curriculum] [laughter] The curriculum ended up looking like this. All I want to do is visually communicate to you that you do five projects in Building Virtual Worlds, then you do three more. All of your time is spent in small teams making stuff. None of that book learning thing. Don and I had no patience for the book learning thing. It’s a master’s degree. They already spent four years doing book learning. By now they should have read all the books.
描述娱乐技术中心真的很难，我最终找到了一个比喻。告诉别人娱乐技术中心就象是描述（加拿大的）太阳马戏团。如果别人从来没有见过，那迟早你会犯错误说，它就像一个马戏团。然后你就被拖进那种关于，哦，有多少只老虎，有多少狮子，有多少吊秋千的表演的谈话中而错失关键。因此，当我们说这是一个硕士学位，我们可不是你所见过的硕 士学位。 这是课程安排[显示娱乐技术中心的课程] [笑] 课程安排最后变成这样。我想要做的是以视觉表达的方式让你们知道，你在建设虚拟世界做五个项目，然后再做 3个。你的所有时间都花在跟小团队作东西。没有这本书学习。唐和我没耐心学书本。这是硕士学位。他们已经用了 4年时间作书本学习。现在他们应该已经读过所有的书了。

The keys to success were that Carnegie Mellon gave us the reins. Completely gave us the reins. We had no deans to report to. We reported directly to the provost, which is great because the provost is way too busy to watch you carefully. [laughter] We were given explicit license to break the mold. It was all project based. It was intense, it was fun, and we took field trips! Every spring semester in January, we took all 50 students in the first year class and we’d take them out to shots at Pixar, we take them to Pixar, Industrial Light and Magic, and of course when you’ve got guys like Tommy there acting as host, right, it’s pretty easy to get entrée to these places. So we did things very very differently. The kind of projects students would do, we did a lot of what we’d call edutainment.
我们成功的关键是卡内基梅隆大学放手让我们去干。完全放手。我们不必向任何院长报告。我们直接向教务长报告，这样非常好因为教务长忙的根本固不上费心管我们。 [笑声]我们有明确的打破旧模式的授权。我们的教学是以课题为刚。紧张有趣，我们还出外考察！每年一月春季学期，我们带全部 50名学生到皮克斯动画工作室和光魔影视特技制作公司，当然当你有像汤米这样的人作东，你进那些地方就很容易。所以我们做的事非常与众不同。我们把很多很多学生做的课题工作称为“娱教“。

We developed a bunch of things with the Fire Department of New York, a network simulator for training firefighters, using video game-ish type technology to teach people useful things. That’s not bad. Companies did this strange thing. They put in writing, we promise to hire your students. I’ve got the EA and Activision ones here. I think there are now, how many, five? Drew knows I bet. So there are five written agreements. I don’t know of any other school that has this kind of written agreement with any company. And so that’s a real statement. And these are multiple year things, so they’re agreeing to hire people for summer internships that we have not admitted yet. That’s a pretty strong statement about the quality of the program. And Don, as I said, he’s now, he’s crazy. In a wonderful complimentary way. He’s doing these things where I’m like, oh my god. He’s not here tonight because he’s in Singapore because there’s going to be an ETC campus in Singapore. There’s already on in Australia and there’s going to be on in Korea. So this is becoming a global phenomenon. So I think this really speaks volumes about all the other universities. It’s really true that Carnegie Mellon is the only university that can do this. We just have to do it all over the world now.
我们为纽约消防局做了一堆东西，训练的消防队员的网络模拟器，用视频游戏类的技术来教人们有用的事。干得不错。几家公司也开先例的提出书面承诺聘用我们的学生。我这里有艺电公司和视动公司的保证书。我想现在有，多少，五个？我肯定朱知道。所以有五个书面保证书。我不知道任何其他学校同任何公司有这样的书面协议。所以这是一个真正的声明。这些保证是多年有效的，所以，他们同意雇佣我们还没入取的学生做暑期实习生。这是对我们教学质量的一个很强力的声明。如我所说，唐，他现在啊，以一个美妙赞美的角度来说，疯了。他做的事情让我情不自禁的想，天哪。他今晚不在这里，因为他在新加坡，因为娱乐技术中心将出那里办一 个分校园。澳大利亚已经有了一个，韩国也要有。因此，这正成为一个全球性的现象。所以，我觉得也很清楚的说明了其它大学（的水平）。真的是只有卡内基梅 隆大学能做到这个。现在我们把这扩展到全世界。

One other big success about the ETC is teaching people about focus – oh I hear the nervous laughter from the students. I had forgotten the delayed shock therapy effect of these bar charts. When you’re taking Building Virtual Worlds, every two weeks we get peer feedback. We put that all into a big spreadsheet and at the end of the semester, you had three teammates per project. Five projects, that’s 15 data points, that’s statistically valid. And you get a bar chart telling you on a ranking of how easy you are to work with, where you stacked up against your peers. Boy that’s hard feedback to ignore. Some still managed. [laughter] But for the most part, people looked at that and went, wow, I’ve got to pick it up a notch. I better start thinking about what I’m saying to people in these meetings. And that is the best gift an educator can give is to get somebody to become self reflective.
娱乐技术中心的另一巨大成功是教人把握人生焦点–哦，我听到有学生在紧张地笑，从。我忘记了那些条状图的迟发休克疗法效应。当你门上建设虚拟世界课时，我们每两周会得到组员的反 馈。我们把数据放到一个大表格里，在学期末，你有五个课题，每个课题三个组员，这就是 15个数据点，可以做有效统计。你会得到一个条状图表告诉你是否如何容易一起工作的排名， 你和你的同侪相比如何。这样的硬反馈很难忽视。但还是有人做到了。 [笑] ，但大部份人看到这个都会说，哇，我要向上提升。我要开始思考在讨论会上对人说什么。一个教育工作者能给的最好的礼物就是让人能自我反省。

So the ETC was wonderful, but even the ETC and even as Don scales it around the globe, it’s still very labor intensive, you know. It’s not Tommy one-at-a-time. It’s not a research group ten at a time. It’s 50 or 100 at a time per campus times four campuses. But I wanted something infinitely scalable. Scalable to the point where millions or tens of millions of people could chase their dreams with something. And you know, I guess that kind of a goal really does make me the Mad Hatter.
所以娱乐技术中心非常成功，但即使唐在把它向全球扩展，它仍然是个劳力密集型项目。这不是汤米一对一，它不是 10人一次的研究小组，它是每校区 50或 100人乘以 4个校区。但我想要做的是能够无限扩展。能扩展到让百万，千万的人用它追逐自己的梦想。你知道，我猜那种目标让我变成了疯帽匠（爱丽斯梦游仙境人物）。
